Antimony is critical to modern life
The mineral is inside phones, computers and batteries and used by America’s military in fireproof uniforms, night vision goggles and ammunition.
Securing antimony means securing our future.
From technology and defense applications to grid capacity storage batteries, the critical mineral antimony is key to achieving a more sustainable and secure future. Yet, the United States has no domestically mined source of antimony and China, Russia and Tajikistan control more than 90 percent of global production (USGS 2023). Dependence on these countries puts our supply chain, and our future at risk.
We can produce antimony here at home
Located in Idaho, the Stibnite Gold Project has one of the largest economic reserves of antimony and could supply approximately 35% of U.S. demand in the first six years of production.
America's military leaders are clear: We need antimony.
